I do photos and X-rays combined and scale the photos In special software already so have a good system to get the angle right and use something of a known size so getting the photos is no problem what I need to figure out is how to get from the photo to a 2d drawing I can use in my cad program

What I would like is to be able to use a photo of the bottom of the hoof with a ruler in the photo for size so i can tell the computer how big the hoof is then have a library of shoes to drag and drop in the use control points to shape the shoe to the foot.

Yes I am a farrier and work closely with a high end vet that was one of the vets for the USA Olympic equestrian team. Right now I am measuring each foot then drawing the shoes ideally I will scan the feet to get a perfect fit quickly. Right now it takes me 30 minutes to measure and draw up each shoe...

The difference here is these will be used for medical reasons so people can spend a lot more. There are several synthetic shoes that I use and they are about $30 to $50 a pair then they get glued on so $15 for the glue then packing under the shoe so $15 for that so now just in supplies we are up aro...

Sorry been awhile sense I looked at this again. I am not using an LCD just my computer and run the print over my USB. Or from the SD card. I quit printing from the SD card because of the print temp issue and have been manually turning up the extruder after the printer starts to home for the print an...

Thanks for the advice! I made sure not to mention 3d and the object I printed because that is what people will be searching for. Not many farriers have the skill to draw them in cad for each horse so I am not super concerned I'm sure someone will steel my idea and that's fine I just want to be the f...

So I've been working on this for awhile now and am happy to say that the first synthetic horse shoes in the world were printed on the m2 this shoe is drawn to the shape of the horses hoof so it is a perfect fit. I'm working with a vet and we are just starting our hoof study's and research project on...

That is exactly the error I am getting.
The strange thing is if I set the temp past 250 it won't start the print however if I set it at 250 then turn the temp up from the control panel after the print starts then it works fine. Any idea why this is?

Ok so I ran the bit through and cleaned up the hole a bit. I decided to heat up the hot end and try manually pushing the filliment through it and found that it flowed the best at 270c however s3d won't let me print over 259 or 260 can't remember. Is there any way to disable this? I know the extruder...

When I get home I'll measure the last pice I pulled out. It kind of balled up though so idk if I can get a useable mesurment from it
